This was fantastic! Love listening to Jillian Michaels and her transparency and wisdom.

This was a fantastic interview! Jillian’s transformation and growth has been absolutely incredible to watch, and she’s a fighter. And she doesn’t quit. She continues to learn and grow and admits where she’s been at fault in the past. She is such a breathe of fresh air, and I am so excited to be back on the Jillian wagon!

Nah, I went through menopause. Was fit and trim, soccer player, coach, hiker, speed walker my whole life then menopause hit and I grew breasts, arms, a belly and legs within a few months. Hormones do a lot of funky things.

[mediamogulmom]

Great interview! I love Jillian's wisdom & her ability to articulate the issues pertaining to our Healthcare! This waa Awesome!

[jennysiepka]

I freaking LOVE Jillian!! She is so raw, honest and ONPOINT. She will challenge the narrative even when it is not popular.

[pamelabull]

Dr Axe, I do not like Jillian’s approach to losing weight and being healthy. But, I have always enjoyed listening to you! You and Jordan have taught me alot. Having Jillian on your program hasn’t changed my opinion of her.

[presterjohn]

Pharma has a lot of financial fruit in their bank accounts. Should we invest in them? Model ourselves after them?

[christinasanchez]

Golden information! Thanks for sharing. 🩵

[eurekahope]

Thank you for the interesting interview.

Dr. Axe, how can you say you’re glad Covid happened? Like many people, I’ve been suffering miserably for 2 years with long covid to which it has had a huge negative impact on not only my life but my family’s life. In fact, it’s ruined my life and I fear I’ll never get better nor be myself again. So, I’m very disappointed and sad that you could say or think of such a thing. 😢

[amelie-dbgu]

What a ridiculous oversimplication and blame game to say people who are overweight want to be 🙄 as you point out, there are many obstacles to being healthy in today's society so shaming people does not produce long term change, that's such basic knowledge

[rhondacoleman]

I love Jillian. At least she is speaking up whether you agree or not. But losing weight is possible, its hard and can be a long journey.

[acera]

Dear Dr. Axe... I do agree with much of what she says now and she may be a seeker of Truth. But I remember her not speaking up for truth in the beginning of all that mess. In fact I think she was on their wagon for some time after the first inital 2 weeks we all were following along to see if it was as d e a d l y as they were telling us. When nobody was falling flat on their face on the streets while we were walking down the streets as would happen in a real crisis, the jig was up. Way to go on working on saving her own reputation. Its nice your helping her save face. Of corse it could have been her " likeness " they were using to show ... see shes loved by many and she believes, because Im sure this may have been the case for a lot of "celebrities". So I admire her speaking up now but there are many that jumped ship once they saw enough "the people" were, and it was "safe" too. 🤔

[NotThatOlivia]

this woman has clearly some issues - she is sooo aggressive trying to explain all what is in her head ... I wonder, what psychiatrists think about it ???

[Singmeadream]

She’ll go through those hormonal changes too one day soon and it’ll be funny to see her stance then.

[watchingthis]

How does she look better 20 years AFTER her prime time??!

[mariaburns]

The new administration is highly intelligent and common sense thinkers!

[leslielarson]

Its pretty obvious many of Dr Axes followers have no idea who Jillian is and what her personality is like. 😅

[JenniferDarling-pk]

It is puzzling why this channel had Ms. Michaels on as a guest when the show that gave her supposed expert status, ruined the contestants resting metabolism and made their obesity problem worse. She was incredibly abusive towards the contestants. I remember her yelling and screaming at people in their faces, physically pulling and dragging them by their clothes. One time she bullied a 400 lb teen into running on a tread mill beyond what was physically safe for an obese person to perform. She was cruel and only cared about winning. I could not watch Biggest Looser because of her and I wouldn't listen to or heed any of her advice. This was a bad choice in guest Dr. Axe.
